event overviewWhether you’re exploring a career move, building leadership skills, or seeking more fulfillment where you are, certified career coach Liz Tracy will guide you through Lead Your Career—a proven framework to help you pause, reflect, and move forward with clarity.
Instead of jumping straight to résumés and interview prep, this session walks you through the real foundations of a strategic career plan: defining your personal criteria for success, understanding the unique value you bring, and turning both into clear goals, a strong presence, and meaningful connections. We’ll also cover why branding and networking matter before you’re ready to job search—even during uncertain times or when you’re “job hugging.”
In this one-hour overview, you’ll reconnect with your professional identity, clarify your goals, and take control of your career direction.
